Articolo su volumeEva Pietroni, Alessandra Chirivì, Bruno Fanini, Alberto Bucciero: An innovative approach to shape information architecture related to ancient manuscripts, through multi-layered virtual ecosystems. From Codex4D to DataSpace project. In Proceedings Extended Reality, International Conference XR Salento 2023, Lecce, Italy, September 6-9, 2023; editors Lucio Tommaso De Paolis, Pasquale Arpaia, Marco Sacco, Springer-Nature, Switzerland, Book Series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science., Part 2, pp.247-267. ISBN-10 ‏: ‎303143403X, ISBN-13 : ‎978-3031434037Best Paper Award AbstractThis contribution deals with the theme of ancient manuscripts and proposes an innovative approach to the construction of cultural ecosystems and virtual representations capable of integrating information levels of various kinds. This multidisciplinary approach results in a multidimensional virtual representation. The cultural model is differently applied in a plurality of digital environments: 1) a 3D Web App, conceived for the scientific visualisation of the manuscript, the analytical exploration of the virtual model and its information levels; 2) a holographic showcase, conceived for the general public of museums and libraries; 3) an online digital platform, the DataSpace, mostly oriented to the scientific community, whose scope is to semantically organize, preserve in the long term, access, share and re-use information and data set. Keywords: Manuscripts, Virtual ecosystems, Multidisciplinary and multi-dimensional approach  

Articolo su journal Patrizia Schettino, Eva Pietroni, Enzo d’Annibale:  Re-thinking visitor experience with ancient manuscripts through the holographic showcase. The case of the project Codex4d and its first public results from a mix method evaluation in situ. In Heritage 2023, Volume 6, Issue9, MDPI, pp.6035-6065; https://doi.org/10.3390/heritage6090318, https://www.mdpi.com/2571-9408/6/9/318 Abstract Ancient manuscripts are precious and fragile objects, preserved in libraries, museums, and archives. Some of them are masterpieces, made with several materials and insights, butgenerally they are not accessible to wide communities of users. The purpose of this study is to present the preliminary results of the Codex4D project: a holographic showcase, conceivedfor museums, presenting the first 4D model of an ancient manuscript to the public at the Science Festival in Genoa in 2022. The manuscript, preserved in the Angelica Library in Rome, has been represented in a multidimensional digital model, documenting both its visibleand invisible aspects, on the surface and in the stratigraphic layers. We analysed the visitorexperience: informal learning, the meaning-making process, interactions between visitors, and gesture-based interaction with the showcase. The methodology used for evaluation is basedon four different qualitative methods (grounded theory, narrative inquiry, case study, and digital ethnography). We collected notes from observation, narratives from interviews, and answers from structured interviews. The main findings are patterns of the visitors’ experiences with a digital interactive 4D model of an ancient manuscript, supported by storytelling, and a list of design issues and possible improvements for the next version of the Codex4D holographic showcase.

Contributo in volumeEva Pietroni, Noemi Orazi, Bruno Fanini: Codex4D. Viaggio interdisciplinare nel manoscritto antico. In Plurilinguismo e Migrazioni, Collana digitale ad accesso aperto, CNR edizioni. https://www.cnr.it/it/plurimi SommarioThe goal of the Codex 4D project, carried out by CNR ISPC and the University of Rome Tor Vergata, is to create an interdisciplinary experience with the ancient codex, from a historical-artistic and diagnostic-conservative point of view. In order to integrate in a coherent space all the information about the visible elements and the hidden elements in the underlying layers of matter, a 4D model of the ancient codex is elaborated, explorable in the three canonical dimensions and in the successive levels of stratigraphic depth. This is made possible by the integration of photogrammetry and reflectography and thermography techniques. Through the creation of a multimedia website, a Web3D environment dedicated to the scientific visualization of the artifact, and a holographic showcase for museums, the project pushes the languages of scientific communication into new territories of experimentation that can arouse emotion and motivate the public to knowledge. Keywords: Manuscripts; Multidisciplinary approach; Documentation of visible and invisible elements; Virtual and mixed reality.

BrevettoF.Mercuri, S.Paoloni, U. Zammit, N. Orazi, E. Pietroni, E. d’Annibale, D. Ronchi, D. Ferdani: depositato domanda di brevetto per invenzione “Metodo per ottenere una ricostruzione digitale tridimensionale nell’infrarosso di un oggetto esplorabile stratigraficamente”, n. 102023000004968 del 16.3.2023 – nell’ambito del progetto “Codex 4D Viaggio in 4 dimensioni nel manoscritto miniato”. Abstract:L’invenzione riguarda un metodo, basato sull’uso di un apparato termoriflettografico, per la rappresentazione digitale tridimensionale di beni culturali e la loro esplorazione virtuale attraverso immagini nel medio infrarosso, acquisite con tecniche riflettografiche e termografiche. La geometria tridimensionale di un manufatto può essere ricostruita elaborando direttamente le sole immagini infrarosse acquisite, anche in condizioni di equilibrio termico, nella stessa configurazione e con lo stesso dispositivo termografico (termocamera) impiegato per registrare con tecniche di termografia attiva, le sequenze termografiche che consentono l’esplorazione virtuale stratigrafica della struttura interna. Il metodo di esplorazione del modello virtuale consente di: 1) visualizzare in corrispondenza della sua superfice caratteristiche non rilevabili con l’osservazione visiva dell’originale; 2) mostrare dinamicamente elementi della sua struttura interna non accessibili otticamente. 

Capitolo di libro: Eva Pietroni, Chiara Florise Amadei, Alessandra Chirivì, Bruno Fanini, Daniele Ferdani, Noemi Orazi, Alfonsina Pagano, Patrizia Schettino, 2023:  Il progetto Codex 4D: viaggio in 4 dimensioni nel manoscritto miniato.  In “Medioevo Digitale. Documenti e archivi, Arte e architettura”, a cura di Antonella Ambrosio e Paola Vitolo, Viella editrice Collana:Fuori collana, Roma, 2023. Edizione cartacea ISBN: 9791254692035.  https://www.viella.it/libro/9791254692035 Abstract: Il libro è una riflessione corale riguardo ad alcune entità materiali che compongono il patrimonio culturale (documenti, sigilli, fotografie, dipinti, monumenti, codici miniati) che si concentra sui metodi e sui processi critici della loro rappresentazione, nonché sulla loro analisi nell’ambiente digitale. Si tratta di un settore difficile da studiare, da valorizzare, da comunicare e finanche da rendere accessibile, e che pone problemi nuovi per l’organizzazione della ricerca sul piano sia scientifico-ermeneutico, sia di integrazione disciplinare, sia logistico-finanziario.Un capitolo è dedicato al progetto Codex4D, alle pp.107-128.
